Are different years compatible? I have an 85, but want to replace the gate with maybe a 91 or 96. Or a 70? Can someone tell me if this will work?

| I am a proud owner of a 1994 F150. Recently, I had the transmission rebuilt. Not too long after that, I pulled a heavy load 1200 miles. The next time I drove it, it vibrated while accelerating and driving at low RPMs. I took it back to the transmission place, and they said that the transmission was fine. I then took it to a tire place, and they replaced my gearbox, and they installed new rotors. That did not really help fix the vibration problem. Then, I drove from Georgia to Indiana for college, and when I arrived, it was vibrating even worse. It does not vibrate when idling, only when the truck is in motion, and the intensity of the vibrations seems to vary with the RPMs, not the speed. Perhaps it has something to do with the engine (I hope not), but I am not sure. Does anyone know what is wrong with my truck, and if so, what can be done to fix it? | |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 26, 2006 3:08 pm) I think we are in agreement that a lousy driver and/or a difficult application (Tim79, "I use it as a work truck to haul things") can quickly wear out a clutch. I think we are also in agreement that a worn clutch with the wrong driver can result in grinding the starter motor on the ring gear, wearing both the ring gear and the starter drive. Therefore it is hardly "bogus" to feel as Tim79's dealer did that the "clutch was so far gone it messed up the starter."

| I have a 86 F-250 and the tailgate latch will not open on one side. I have tried to remove trim pieces to get at the inner workings but did not see a way. Is there any way to get in there and fix this or do I need to be a whole new tailgate? | |

Replying to: blckislandguy (Aug 28, 2006 5:37 pm) I see no relationship whatsoever between a worn clutch and a bad starter motor, so I think the dealer's diagnosis (if reported accurately--let's be fair) is intentionally or unintentionally wrong. It makes no sense. |
